The point on the unit circle with centre (0, 0); where tangents are equally inclined to the co-ordinate axes are :
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → $(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}},-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}),(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}},\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}})$
unit circle with centre (0, 0)
$⇒x^2+y^2=1$ ...(1)
so $2x+2y\frac{dy}{dx}=0⇒\frac{dy}{dx}=-\frac{x}{y}$
point of equal inclination $⇒\frac{dy}{dx}=1$
$⇒-x=y$
so from (1)
$x^2+x^2=1$
$x=±\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
$y=\mp\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
so points → $(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}},-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}),(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}},\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}})$
